Beyond the box score: 4/18/08

When the Diamondbacks scored six runs in the first against Greg Maddux, the game was pretty much over. The Padres had scored only three runs in the previous 34 innings. Now it's three runs in 43 innings.

KEY FACTOR

Some facts about the Padres' offense: Over the past six games (2-4), the Padres have scored 11 runs and hit .152 with 10 extra-base hits (no homers) for a .206 slugging percentage and a .215 on-base percentage. Six of those 11 runs came in a single inning.

PLAYERS OF THE GAME

Offense: Conor Jackson. Why stop at a cycle when you can finish with a homer, two triples and a single? Which is what the Arizona first baseman did. His four RBI on the night equaled Brian Giles' Padres-leading total over the last six games.

Pitching: Dan Haren shut out the Padres for seven innings on three hits, matching the previous night's stats of Rockies starter Jeff Francis.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

When the Diamondbacks scored seven runs off Maddux in the first two innings, it showed that even the most prepared athlete can still get clobbered. But Maddux's preparation drew praise from Jake Peavy three hours before Friday night's first pitch.

Peavy said Maddux broke down video of every Diamondbacks hitter on Tuesday, which is 2-3 days earlier than Peavy would do it.

"I asked him why," Peavy said. "He said, 'The things I'm going to do (based on the video scouting report), I'm going to work on them in the bullpen.'"

Peavy said he had never thought of it that way, and now he's likely to work such details into his routine. "That's pretty logical to me," he said.

Maddux was shooting for his 350th victory, a win total that Peavy said he can't fathom, but he said the 42-year-old's work ethic is part of it. "He's so well-prepared it's ridiculous," Peavy said.

The one thing that won't show up in the statistics of Friday night's defeat is the hit Maddux took for the team. Although he had given up nine runs, Maddux stuck around for seven innings and 113 pitches -- 16 more than he had ever thrown before as a Padre -- to save a bullpen that had been sacked by the previous night's 22-inning game.
